FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE Announcement

I am happy to announce the availability of FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE, a
maintenance release of the FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE branch. Since FreeBSD
4.6-RELEASE in June 2002, we have resolved several ATA-related
problems, updated the system OpenSSL and OpenSSH components, and
addressed several security issues.

For a list of new features and known problems, please see the
release notes and errata list, available here:

Availability

FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE supports the i386 and alpha architectures and
can be installed directly over the net using the boot floppies or
copied to a local NFS/FTP server. Distributions for the i386 are
available now. As of this writing, the final builds for the alpha
architecture are in progress and will be made available shortly.

We can't promise that all the mirror sites will carry the larger
ISO images, but they will at least be available from:

If you can't afford FreeBSD on media, are impatient, or just want
to use it for evangelism purposes, then by all means download the ISO

companies will be offering FreeBSD 4.6.2 based products:

Please join me in thanking them for all the hard work which went
into making this release. Many thanks are also due to the FreeBSD
committers (committers@FreeBSD.org), without whom there would be
nothing to release, and thousands of FreeBSD users world-wide who
have contributed bug fixes, features, and suggestions.
